A video and telephone conference on the planning and construction of affordable housing was held in Beijing on the 4th. He Lifeng, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, attended the conference and delivered a speech. From the current situation, there are many difficulties in building affordable housing. We need to adhere to the problem oriented and goal oriented approach, and use reform and innovation methods to focus on solving a series of key problems such as how much to build, how to build, how to balance funds, how to allocate and manage, to ensure good deeds, achieve sustainable development, and better meet the people's desire for "housing". He Lifeng emphasized that the construction of affordable housing is a challenging and complex systematic project. We must adhere to planning first, make decisions later, solidly carry out preliminary work, strictly manage projects and control costs, comprehensively consider the market situation, and reasonably grasp the pace of construction. We need to establish a fair and just allocation mechanism, strengthen supervision and auditing, and focus on targeting wage earners with housing difficulties and low income, as well as talents introduced by the government. The allocation will be based on the principle of maintaining a minimum profit while maintaining capital. Affordable housing should be strictly under closed management and not allowed to be listed for trading. Relevant departments need to quickly improve the policy system, strengthen leadership in various regions, organize and implement projects effectively, strengthen the full chain supervision of project construction, and ensure that the construction of affordable housing achieves the expected results.
